What do you guyz think?
 
the run up to the house looks a little steep to me but as all my piggys are in a shed I dont use hutches so maybe other hutch users might be more useful, but it sure is a smart penthouse for a very spoiled pig,
 
I am wondering - is this supposed to be more for rabbits?

It seems very high, which would be good for a rabbit because it can actually stand upright in it, but its a waste of space for piggies..
and not only the run, the house aswell - nice and high, but a piggy doesnt need that.

If you would want to get that, I would build a second floor into the house/hutch-compartement, and for the run I would buy some houses with ramps that they can hop on top of, so that the upwards space isnt completely wasted.

Looks good as such though :)

Ramp is a bit steep, but thats nothing you cant solve by putting a brick underneath it and carpet on the ramp itself.
Can you shut the house off? as in, close it off from the run completely?

Also, is this supposed to be a summer-house for your piggies, or are you planning on keeping the piggies in there all year?
If it is planned to be their winter residence aswell, I would do some modifications with regard to insulation and keeping drafts out.
 
it would be in the garage, i thought it looked a little steep! just I'm randomlly looking for large hutches for my piggies with an extending family.
 
one of my hutches has a ramp that steep,I normally cover it in shavings etc but it also has ridges on it so they manage ok,in fact theyre damn fast up and down it :o
 
you could make railings out of cubes down the side my nailing them onto the sides of the ramp (if that made any sens) my bunnies would be in heaven in that but they are getting sheds soon.
